Chapter 285 Study abroad well and don’t cause trouble!
Although the Hun teenagers and children who came to Xianyang to study were of noble birth, this does not mean that there were no Hun civilians and slaves in the Hun team. On the contrary, there were quite a few.

Because even if they arrive in Xianyang, the young masters will need people to serve them. Do they have to fetch water for washing feet, wash clothes and fold quilts by themselves?
Although these young Xiongnu masters were not welcomed in the Xiongnu, their birth and status were there. If they did not have servants to serve them when they arrived in Xianyang, the Qin people would think that the Xiongnu had become completely impoverished and could not even afford a servant. Wouldn't they be looked down upon by the Qin people?

Moreover, not only the young Xiongnu men studying abroad needed to be served, but also the Xiongnu officials who would be stationed in Xianyang.

Therefore, there were many civilians and slaves serving as servants in this Xiongnu delegation. After all, how could a noble be without maids and servants to serve him?

When Li Nian received the message from the Huns asking whether he could bring people to Xianyang, he was in a very good mood and replied decisively: Yes!

It would be a problem for Daqin if these people did not bring the Xiongnu civilians and slaves with them. It would be more beneficial to Daqin if they did: it is much easier to influence oppressed civilians and slaves than to influence a group of noble young masters.

Although these young masters were not well received by the Xiongnu, due to the class they came from, it would be more difficult to influence them than the Xiongnu civilians and slaves. Even if they were influenced, the effects they could produce would be different.

After being influenced by the Qin Dynasty, the young nobles would choose to imitate the Qin Dynasty and make limited changes to the Xiongnu, but they would not wantonly destroy the class they came from. Instead, they would maintain stability and make some repairs to it.

Because they are already in the vested interest class, but they are unpopular and have no power. However, they only need to overthrow the original people in power and take power themselves. They do not need to overthrow the class they come from, as that will not benefit them.

But this is not in the interests of the Qin Dynasty, because it is difficult to cause great chaos in the Huns. Only chaotic, backward and weak Huns are good Huns, which makes it convenient for the Qin Dynasty to operate among them and swallow the Huns, completing the national version of "Brother, you smell so good, let me swallow a bite."

However, the Xiongnu commoners were different from the slaves. If they wanted to come to power, they had to overthrow all the Xiongnu nobles standing above them and become the new Xiongnu nobles, which meant sending the original Xiongnu nobles away.

This would cause enormous damage to the Xiongnu and plunge them into chaos and division, which would be more in line with the interests of the Qin Dynasty.

Simply put, due to their different class backgrounds, the harm that the young nobles could cause to the Huns was not as great as that caused by the Huns' civilians and slaves.

The team continued to move forward and arrived at Xi County. Instead of rushing on, they decided to rest here because Xi County was very close to Xianyang and the team needed to make final preparations for entering Xianyang here.

Xianyang is the capital of the Qin Dynasty and the foot of the Qin Emperor. The Hun delegation cannot afford to be careless and must make sufficient preparations in advance to prevent certain incidents from happening after entering Xianyang. Especially since there are many young boys in the team, if something big happens in Xianyang, even the Chanyu may not be able to cover it.

He Ye got off the carriage and was gathered in an open space with his companions. He Ye saw that the teenagers and children in other carriages were also gathered here.

After all the teenagers and children on the carriages arrived, a burly Hun man stood in front and looked at them. He was one of the officials sent by the Huns to stay in Xianyang permanently.

The sturdy man said in Xiongnu language: "This is Xi County, not far from the Qin capital Xianyang, and we will arrive there tomorrow. I know that many of you are probably eager to go to Xianyang immediately to see what the Qin capital looks like." "You may be tired of hearing this, but I still have to warn you again, the Qin is not the Xiongnu, and Xianyang is not the royal court. Some things can be done on the grassland and in the royal court, but not in Xianyang! Keep your claws and teeth in Xianyang, otherwise if you get into trouble, I will personally peel off your skin!"

The young boys and children had heard these words many times before leaving the Xiongnu. Their elders had told them when they were chosen to go to Xianyang. The Chanyu had also told them before they gathered at the royal court and set off. Along the way, the accompanying Xiongnu officials also kept telling them these words.

The main point is: Daqin is not the Xiongnu, Xianyang is not the royal court, you are ferocious wolf cubs in the Xiongnu, but in Daqin, you have to put away your wolf nature and never cause trouble!
"Don't think that you are noble. Xianyang is the capital of the Qin Dynasty. It is the seat of the great Emperor Qin. There are many nobles who are more noble than you. Compared with these nobles of the Qin Dynasty, you are nothing. You are noble, but can you compare with Prince Maodun?"

Although Maodun had been dead for several months and grass had grown on his grave, he was still picked out by the strong man as an example.

"Of course I can't compare to him. Prince Maodun is the son of the Chanyu, the future Chanyu!"

He Ye thought in his heart that the other teenagers and children had the same idea, and they also understood the reason why the strong man mentioned Prince Maodun.

Even a figure of Prince Maodun's status was killed by the Qin people in Xianyang. They are nothing. They should just stay in Xianyang, not cause trouble and just lie down.

This is true, but some Xiongnu teenagers and children felt quite aggrieved and humiliated. Prince Maodun was killed, but the Chanyu and the leaders did not dare to react to the Qin people at all. Even now, they were still threatened by the strong men with the death of Prince Maodun.

At the same time, they felt awe and envy for the Qin Dynasty. When would the Xiongnu become as powerful as the Qin Dynasty, so that they could hold their heads high and walk among other countries without other countries daring to bully them?

"The laws and regulations of the Great Qin are more numerous and stricter than those of the Xiongnu. When we enter Qin, we must abide by them and never violate them. After entering Xianyang, don't look around, don't talk around, and don't move around! After entering that academy, you must also be obedient. If you are told to go east, go east. If you are told to go west, go west!"

"Forget your status and position. In Daqin, you are just ordinary Huns. Don't cause trouble or get into trouble."

Some young men and children were dissatisfied. What if the Qin people bullied them? If they were asked to be so obedient, would they really die if the Qin people wanted them to die?
The strong sense of grievance and humiliation could not be resolved in their hearts, but the young men and children of the Huns were powerless to do anything because the Qin people were strong and they, the Huns, were weak.

He Ye had the same feeling in his heart, but so what? On the grassland, weak animals would be regarded as prey by wolves and eagles. They were weak now and could only endure this humiliation.

While listening to the strong man's lecture and instructions, He Ye looked around. On the other side, the Xiongnu civilians and slaves brought by the delegation were also receiving lectures.

He Ye quickly found his followers among them. They were two young Xiongnu boys. They were listening to the lecture attentively and didn't notice that their master was watching them.
